I didn't know that the Aryans influenced the Slavs in practically everything.
One of them attributes an Iranian origin to various Slavic forms that begin with _x-_, including core verbs like _xotěti/_xŭtěti_ ‘to want’ and _xovati* ‘to hide’. Meanwhile, Loma, in works from 2000 and 2012, proposed Scythian etymologies for several Slavic items, among them ethnonyms and toponyms.
There's even influence of the religious and cultural worldview of the Iranians on the early Slavs. demonstrated by Slavic lexical bro even their ethnonym 'Slavic" is actually borrowed from iranics KEK _slava ‘word’ (OCS [Old Church Slavonic] slovo) < OIr. _sravah- ‘glory, renown; word’ (Av. sravah-; contrast Ved. śrávas-, Gk. kléos ‘glory’); _
bagu ‘riches, abundance; god’ (OCS bogŭ; cf. bog-atŭ ‘rich’, u-bogŭ ‘poor’; later replaced in the sense of “wealth” by bogatĭstvo) < OIr. _baga- ‘fortune; god’ (Av. baga- ‘share, lot; god,’ Sogd. βɣ- ‘god’; contrast Ved. bhága-[Vedic]
Iranianswith whom the early Slavs came intocontactadhered to a version of our Mazdaean dualism...religious borrowings or calques are potential examples related to social organization: PSl. *mīru ‘world, peace even the name of the Croats, *xŭrvatŭ, if from OIr. *(fšu-)harwatar-‘pastoralist’

Literally nothing wrong with that. Ancient Iranics like Scythians, Achaemenid and Sassanid Persians were extremely cool and based. And those languages are all indo-european anyway, it's not like those words were borrowed from Africans or something.

It's also possible that the Goths influenced the Slavs in some way as there are some words of gothic origin in slavic languages. Mainly words regarding trade and war. Although we don't know how thr Goths influenced the slavs, could have been just by proximity.
For example the slavic word "chleb" (bread) likely comes from the gothic hlaibas

The tldr on this stuff is:
Names of common items(bread isn't as common as you'd think) are often slavic, names of deities are also slavic.
Terms related to abstract concepts such as "wealth" or "conflict" are borrowed from Iranian theonyms. Incidentally the typical Slavic word for Abrahamic God, like Polish Bóg is etymologically related to the word for "wealth" and by proxy with the deity Bhaga, a very funny coincidence.
Germanic languages usually gave them certain terms for social hierarchy and organisation, for instance marketplace in most slavic languages comes from germanic word.
There are, as usual endless exceptions from it, but thats the general rule of thumb when it comes to slavic languages.

The closest equivalent for Bhaga is most likely Veles. Theonyms themselves didn't change but Iranian theonyms were adapted to express abstract concepts. Not sure if my post just wasn't clear about it or not.

Yeah iirc slavic words of gothic origin are things like "ruler/prince, sword, armor, helmet, money, buy, loan, cattle, donkey, medicine, letter, ruse, cauldron, fence, house, barn"
It's pretty interesting.
